AND the cleaning kits/ armorers tools to keep it all operational after real-world abuse/use..

Especially if you plan on shooting that Tula ammo in anything except an AK.

There’s cheap ammo, and there is TOO cheap ammo.

IF you are the Russians and you can throw away firearms when the ammo ruins them, then Tula is for you.

Hehe ... use it for barter with folks who don’t know any better/ you don’t like.

I've had no problems with steel-cased Russian ammo in three M1 Garands. I don't generally run it through my match rifle, but I'm real, real picky about the ammo I run through it, and don't run *just any* brass-cased surplus GI or commercial ammo through it, either.

Yeah, I've got spare extractors and the combo tools with which to put 'em in. And having been a company-level armorer in the M1 Garand/M1 carbine/M14/M16 days, I know how to keep 'em going, too.
